Our initial response includes reinforcing high risk locations ahead of further potential weather impacts. Our teams are also engaged across various river sites, focusing on debris removal, reinstating access roads and assessing damage.

Our second season of rock export to Wellington from Port Tarakohe started on Monday 23 June with the first 1100 tonne loaded on board "Geronimo" departing Tarakohe at dusk. A slow trip across the Cook Strait at four knots!

A walk down memory lane back to 1987 when Taylors had a contract to put a 200-metre pipeline under the Maitai River, a tricky job that was very dependent on tide. The pipes were 4-6 metre lengths made of steel, lined with concrete and wrapped with rubber, and they were welded together to form the pipeline. At low tide a trench was dug across the river and a line-up of excavators used to lift the pipes into place. The final join had to be made virtually in the water at dead low tide so a bund was built and the water pumped out while Alan Skilton was in there welding, the combination of high energy electricity and saltwater making the job particularly complicated.

It was a momentous day yesterday with the release of kiwi pukupuku into the Brook Waimārama Sanctuary, the first time kiwi pukupuku have been in this area for nearly 100 years. This is the culmination of a lot of work by many, many people. We are proud to support the Brook Waimārama Sanctuary as part of its business club. Well done to everyone involved.

There are hopes the kiwi will thrive outside a sanctuary similar to what has unfolded in Wellington.

Our Civil team loves being able to put the finishing touches on a project, especially one that has spanned many years and different stages. The Taylors Civil team recently completed construction of a cycle bridge and pathways in the Borck Creek subdivision, much to the delight of the many locals who enjoy walking or cycling through this new development.

Well done to the team, who often work in the public eye while managing environmental controls (in this case water, mud and dust) and restricting public access during construction.
